I've spotted this roofrack on fleabay (item no. 270249001886) and was wondering if anyone has bought one off the seller and if it was any good?

Or failing that does anybody know where I pick one up for 200 quid or less preferably with raised sides on it??
 
If you check the sellers feedback at least 2 buyers make reference to a rack might be worth sending them a message, I've done this a few times and usually get honest answers back
Hope this helps
regards

Thanks biggeeeee, I often do this on ebay as a matter of precaution, as there are so many dodgy sellers. I'll keep plugging away as I've got a budget off the Mrs. to stick to:eek: or I'll get my arse kicked:rolleyes:.
 
How about this one then, a bit more than I'd hoped for!!!!!
ebay item no. 330245529437

I could live on this one lol
 
sorry about it being dirty, its on a customers car and am still in work here, aint got a new one to hand.

Just got myself a 2nd hand Bearmach roof rack and was told that the maximum load is 50kg! That seem's a bit low to me considering it's a hefty piece of kit, so does anybody know any different. Or is the weight limit recommended due to the Disco's gutters?:confused: (Full size rack btw).

With the Series and defenders it was due to the structural weakness inherent in an alloy sided vehicle. Not sure about the disco, but 50Kg is deemed a safe load to avoid topheavy vehicles taking corners to fast and rolling. Once parked up the 50kg is out of the window or it would make roof tents obsolete. 2 adults + weight of roof tent & rack is probably nearer 150Kg. I had a roof rack on my 110 that didn't touch the roof or gutters at all. it fastened to the front screen hinges & a HD mounting and at the rear it fastened to the rear Crossmember and the body cappings. Use to belong to Midweb and was used for transporting telegraph poles off road..
 
I've got one of those racks in raz's shot. I pikied it off a chap on LZ who lived in Lincs. Forget his name now but It's well solid.. Not as dirty as the one in the pic though..

Tnx for that redhand, I had to check because I've seen some Landy's roof racks piled high with allsorts! Now all I gotta figure out is where to put the tent, as that thing weighs in at nearly 45kg:eek:. Might try and persuade the Mrs. to let me buy another Disco instead of the trailer she's after:D
 
that first rack looks a bit ****.
im not a fan of powder coating either , slightest chip then rust sets in and undermines the plastic , it turnes to crap after a few years.

galvy or paint is better.

that looks like its made from square steel tube , must weigh a fair bit. ive got a steel brownchurch rack and its a bast'rd to lift. alloy would be best to keep the weight down , but expencive.

that dirty disco rack looks good. any idea how much it weighs?
